Art Prostitute was founded in Denton in 2003 and quickly gained global recognition as being an outstanding design/art publication featuring some the most talented and relevent creative minds out there. Since then they’ve moved their gallery to Deep Ellum into the space shown above.
The show openings here are always a blast—they had free Shiner on tap at the last one I went to, not to mention a bunch of jaw-dropping work. If you think most “art galleries” are stuffy and pretentious, then this will be a breath of fresh air. And it’s because of the founders, Brian Gibb and Mark Searcy. They do a great job of finding artists/designers who live and breathe creativity—people who truly depend on creativity for their survival. At least this is the vibe that I got out of it. You won’t be dissapointed. They also have a nice little collection of art books and lots of other cool stuff for sale. Here’s a map.
Thanks to Justin Childress and Christina Childress for the photography.
